To drain the barnyard is 10 allow of the
escape Of large portion Of the liquid ma
nure, and also Of the soluble portions of the
solids, as the rains and melting SHOWS car
ry off everything that can be dissolved
Yet though there will necessarily be loss
from draining the barnyard, it cannot be
denied that in a majority Of cases the barn
yards are usually wet and in an unfit con
dition for stock To avoid such difficulty
different kinds Of absorbent materials are
used but there is nothing that will pre-
vent the loss of valuable liquids The wa
ter containing soluble matter must either
flow off or render the barnyard uncomfort-
able
As the barnyard is used as an outdoor
resort for all kinds of stock it is the most
convenient place for the manure heap, and
not only are the droppings added to it, but
cornstalks, dirt, straw and the rakings of
the farm, the object being not only to de-
compose the rough material, but also to alb
sorb the liquids from the droppings As
the rich black pools and streams of the
barnyard contain the very Essence" of the
heap, with also all its filth, to allow it to
drain off is to permit the real wealth of the
farm to pass away while to allow it to re-
main is to injure the health of the stock.
Nor is the situation changed during the dry
season, for every shower, with the heat Of
the sun, causes rapid decomposition, and
the air is saturated with escaping volatile
matter.
The draining of the barnyard has at
tracted the attention Of many scientific az
riculturists. who have differed somewhat in
the methods proposed but they are agreed
on one point, however, which is that in the
centre Of every barn-yard there should be
large, water tight cistern, covered, over
which the material should be placed in or
der to permit of the liquids being stored in
stead of being allowed TO flow off. This
permits Of pumping the liquids over any
additional dry material that may be added,
and has the advantage Of enabling the far
mer to hasten or retard decomposition Ell
Their by saturating the heap or allowing it
to remain dry. The richer the liquids in
the vat or cistern the sooner heat can be
generated in the heap when the materials are
moistened, and if the heap is covered over
with boards or an open shed it will be pro
tected from the influence of the solar rays
The great aim of every farmer should be
TO so decompose his manure as to get it in
to the finest possible condition. as it will
then not only be more easily handled and
spread upon the land but will also be more
available and immediate as plant food. The
more complete the decomposition the great
er the solubility of the manure. and this is
an important matter which should never
be Observation-Disclosures Record.

That Americans consume comparatively
little cheese is fact also that cheese is one
of the most wholesome and cheapest kinds
of food indeed often preferable to meat
Making small cheese, weighing four, five
or ten pounds each which could be readily
sold at from 80 to 100 per cent above the
market price for large sizes would doubt
less be of great benefit to this industry, and
materially increase the local demand. A
five pound cheese properly made of whole
milk would readily sell at from seventy-five
cents to a dollar The buyer of the entire
product of a certain cheese factory in
Madison county, n Y. offered the maker
three-fourths of cent per pound above
the market price if he would reduce his
cheese TO a uniform size of thirty pounds
each. As this offer covered the cost of
making, being IA nice profit in itself, it was
accepted. One of the most prominent gro
GERS in Geneva, n. Y, Samuel Warth says
he cannot get small cheese enough to fill the
demand In Holland probably the most
popular cheese made is the Edam, which is
round and weighs two Kilograms or four
and fourtenths pounds Small families do
not care TO buy forty or fifty pound
cheese at a time, on account of the diff
Guilty in keeping it fresh until used Nor is
1t pleasant to buy slice of the grocer,
which Is not very appetizing after having
been rolled up in paper and handled
Making small cheese, weighing four or five
pounds each, we believe will not only in
crease the local demand, but also return
larger profit to the maker Holstein- Erie

Growing Crops for the Benefit of the
Soil.

There are times when, after the crop has
been harvested, the land is allowed to re
main undisturbed until the succeeding
spring; but experience has demonstrated
that 1t is better to have IA crop of some kind
on the ground at all times provided such
crops be not permitted to mature, but be
turned under as manure. The old system
of following the land, which was simply to
give it a period of rest for regeneration,
proved very beneficial yet while the land
Is lying unproductive advantage should be
taken OF the opportunity for assisting the
soil TO regain fertility. The soils that are
heavily cropped and abandoned become
slightly covered with scanty heritage, the
feeble plants deriving much of their food
from the atmosphere, and when ploughed
under they add that which they have gain
ed To the soil, which thus in a few wears be
comes sufficiently fertile 10 bear a crop of
some kind. But such system is not an
economical one, for not only is there a loss
OF time, but the process of recuperation is
slow. Provided the crop be seeded in with
a view of turning it under, the soil is al
ways benefited, for while the plants, through
the agency Of the roots and leaves, appro-
pirate nitrogen in the shape of nitric acid
and ammonia from the atmosphere and mois-
AuiNi AiO ipolS hlhp exert bOln mechanical
and chemical action ON the inert elements
of the soil itself, thus converting plant food
from insOmble materials. Hence when a
regular crop is removed such as corn, the
land should be seeded Immediately To some
other crop-as rye, for instance, the rye to
he turned under when of the proper height.
No possible injury can be done the soil as
the rye will not he removed, and such crop
performs the service Of assisting 10 restore
fertility, and also prevents the occupancy
of the land by weeds. The labor of pillow
ing and narrowing is not very expensive if
credit be given the value of the labor saved
IN destroying the weeds that would spring
up should the ground be left uncovered
Shade benefits the land also, and some far
mers are of the opinion that the shading of
the ground by clover is very important
matter that does not receive proper atten-
ton but where clover is not possible. as is
the case ON some soils, the growing of spec
ial manurial crops is Il cheap and easy mode

been oyercropped and become somewhat

Effects Of InbreedinR.

Take flock of common hens, of all col
ors, shapes and sizes, so as to conduct an
experiment Place with them IA pure bred
Plymouth Rock cock, and the chicks will
become uniform, and SO near like the Ply
mouth Rocks that it will be difficult to dis
tinguiSh them from pure-bred. To continue
the experiment the next season use a cock
of the last seasons production with pullets
of the same brood-that is. keep one of the
half Plymouth Rocks and mate him
with few of the half bred pullets. The
result will be that chicks Matched from the
eggs laid by the half-bred pullets will re-
vert to their grandams, and instead of be
ing uniform, like the cross from the pure
Plymouth Rock will come of all coiors
shapes and sizes when larger. BY in
breeding the uniformity is destroyed be-
cause the parents are not pure bred
Hence, always use pure-bred male in the
flock, no matter of what breed it NAV be.
and your chicks will he not only uniform,
but superior to those of the previous sea
son. The same rule applies to the breed
ing of cattle, sheep, and all domestic ami
mals.-An. AgricuituriSt for Mdrch.

Professor Henry Of Iowa is very positive
IN some of his statements respecting the
best silos and cheapest way to secure silage.
he condemns the old silo made of stones
for seemingly good reasons. He advocates
using neutrality-suspicious. on both
sides over building papers, giving a dead
air space
Some years ago the fruit from "a or %
Northern Spy apple trees which stood in
the corner of a lot where sheep were pas
tured sold for 5000 in single season. AT
terward the sheep were removed from that
lot the apples on those trees grew poorer
from year to year, until the sheep were put
back, when the apples were again improved.
This incident was told by Hugh T. Brooks
at the January meeting at Rochester.
According to DIR. Brown-Sequard, one
has only to harden the neck aud feet and
destroy their sensitveness to prevent tax
ing cold. This may be done by daily blow
ing stream of cold air, by means of an
elastic bag, upon the neck, and by miners
ing the feet in cold water. The air should
be at first only slightly cool but each day
made colder, until the neck can stand an
Arctic blast with impunity The feet should
be immersed in water, which is at first at a
temperature of about 80 F., and is gradu-
ally reduced to 80 f.

The theory that the severe drouths which
have occurred during the summer months
for several years past were caused by the
denuding Of the forest seems TO be at fault
this season. The theory works well wher-
ever the forest has been denuded and the
drouth happens to come but in Vermont,
and in the greater part of New England,
there is more forest than there was 30 years
ago. Rainy summers-too rainy for the
best results in agriculture-were frequent
when we had less forest than we now have.
The frequency Of rain and the quantity of
the rainfall during the last six weeks show
that drouth at this season of the year is
not yet an established order of things and
that we are still liable to have too much as
well ms too little rain We have passed
through a series of unusually dry summers,
such as may not again occur in succession

Corn and WhisLey.

The bushel Of corn costs the man who
grows il 30 cents When he goes 10 the
bar and buys it back as whiskey cocktail it
furnishes him just two drinks for his 30
cents The distiller takes the original
